JACOB GO LDSTEIN AND CHARLES H. BOMBAGH, OF ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI.

OVERALLS AND PANTALOONS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 314,122, dated March. 17, 1885.

Application filed June 9, 1884.

To all whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that we, JACOB GOLDSTEIN and CHARLES H. RoMBAcH, both of the city of St. Louis, in the State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Overalls, Pantaloons, 850., of which the following is a full. clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, and in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of a pair of overalls showing our invention: Fig. 2 is an outside view of the sections or blanks, showing their relative position and mode of inter locking the re-enforcing overlaps. Fig. 3 is an inside view of the same. Fig. 4 represents the back sections,and Fig. 5 the front sections, from which the overalls are made.

Our invention relates to that class of overalls and other garments the seams of which are re-enforced at points especially liable to I111).

The invention consists in cutting each section of the overalls, &c., with overlapping tongues where they are intended to meet at the crotch or beneath the fly, so as to form a four-ply counter-lap, as will be hereinafter more fully described, and pointed out in the claims.

Referring to the drawings, A B representthe front sections of a pair of overalls, and A B the laps or tongues extending from the same and forming the re-enforce, which is so designed that when secured in position with the back sections, 0 D, and their overlaps G D, their margins exactly correspond, forming a four-ply re-enforce. The interlocking overlaps of the crotch extend upward to where they are securely attached to the lower part of the re-enforce surrounding the fly, making a strong six-ply re-enforce at the point that is usually the first place to rip or tear in garments of this kind. The lap B, extending from front section, B, of the right leg, interlocks with the lap G from the back section of the left leg, 0, and so also laps A and D, in connection with sections A and D, make a transverse second or double lock to the re-enforcing laps by a novel device (see Fig. 2,) by which the points of the laps turn- (ModcL) ing over as they pass the center of the crotch are ,in that position secured to their corre sponding section.

It will be seen that the texture of the fabric in the overlap, being presented from diverse directions, crosses the counterlying threads of the adjoining sections of the pattern, thus materially adding to its strength. be seen that by this mode of re enforcing the centralcrotch-seam downward from the fly is dispensed with, and the marginal scain of the overlap reaching to and being secured to a part on which there is little strain, much of the danger of ripping is avoided.

Another feature of novelty in our invention is the double-stitched middle seams through the four ply overlap, which, it will be seen.

' has a semi-elliptic divergence from the line of the inside seam of the legs. \Ve are aware ofLetters Patent of the United States granted to J. M. Cox, May 6, 1884, No. 298,181,:ind do not lay claim to anything therein shown and described; but

\Vhat we do claim as our invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is'

It will also 1. In overalls, pantaloons, andthe like, the

combination of the front sections, A B, having crotch-laps A B, and back sections, 0 D, having crotch-laps G D, the crotch-laps interlocking and being stitched together, forming a founply reenforced crotch, as shown and described.

2. In overalls, pantaloons, and the like, the combination of the four parts A, B, O, and D, having re-enforcing-laps A, B, G, and D, that severally interlock one another.and whose marginal seams are secured beyond the lines of the fly, as shown and described.

3. ln overalls, pantaloons, and the like, the combination of the four sections A, B, C, and D, having re-enforcing overlaps interlocking with one another and being secured by a transverse double stitched seam through the center of the re-enforce, for the purpose shown and described.
